From the insiders site. I don't think they quite got it right. They lead you to believe that the offense of more solid than the defense:
The Yellow Jackets had a winning season due to their defense. This will be the greatest weakness this season
Look, we all know we lost our All-American linebacking corps, and that will be a huge question mark. But the defensive line could be one of our strongest in years AND our secondary is actually one of the best in the nation, and probably #2 in the ACC behind Clemson. So yes, there are holes to fill, but the defense imo will be in the top 4 of the ACC. No doubt J.Tenuta will adjust his schemes to focus on our strengths, which shift this season.
Honestly, most of my questions center around the offense. The line, the inexperience of the receiving corp, the maturation of Ball, the conservative play-calling. If everything develops well, it could be a special season. But I think the defense will still be excellent. We were dead last in the ACC in offense last season, and we have to improve that to move up in the conference.
On a separate note, here's a look at Maryland, if you are interested.
